In a similar vein, when are they going to downgrade the BC Dirt Mile to a Grade 3?

The first running of the DM was worthy of a GI since you had two horses in it (Corinthian and Discreet Cat) who had won the only other GI races at a mile in this country. Albertus Maximus bouyed the second running with a win in the Donn and Two Step Salsa came back to win the Godolphin Mile, so it's had a couple of quality runnings.
Last year's field, um, not so much.
